6 Months Old

Our little boy is half a year old today. This month he seemed to develop much more than the previous months. He is learning so much. Here is what he has been up to this past month:

He is learning how to eat. He’s not too consistent though which makes him tricky to feed. One day he’ll eat bananas and the next day won’t. Two days later and he’s back to liking them. There is no place that sells baby food so we make everything here from fruits and vegetable from the market. We made a sweet potato/carrot mix that again, he loved one day and not the next. We also give him bites of what we prepare to eat, if there is soup in it. Last Sunday, we ate at our pastor’s house and he loved the soup from the stew George was eating.



He is moving… a lot. He has learned to roll over both ways and loves to stand up (with us supporting him, of course). I wonder if he’ll be an early walker?



He is babbling more (ba ba is his latest one) and enjoys screaming (for fun).

He LOVES his stroller. We use it all the time, often just doing laps in the yard. I get exercise and he likes to be pushed around. Sometimes he falls asleep in there.

His drooling has drastically decreased.

His sleeping briefly improved, but unfortunately the last several days, he has resumed waking up 6-8 times per night. We are trying to find out if there is a medical reason for this – perhaps an ear infection or stomach issues.

He is a Daddy’s boy. Sure, he loves me, but he LOVES George.

So far, he doesn’t have separation anxiety (unless we are at home and leave the room) and enjoys being held by anyone and everyone.

I’m not sure what he weighs, but I am sure he has gone up a pound or two putting him around 23 pounds and wearing sizes ranging from six to twelve months.

He has a lot of new hair. I can’t wait to see what he looks like once it all comes in. So far, it’s looking like mine. Bummer. I was hoping for a curly head of hair.



Until next month... I leave you with this photo of our future soccer (also known as football here) star.
